| During a mission to capture a Nazi officer deep inside enemy-held territory, paratrooper Alexei Kulkov (Academy Award® winner PauI Muni, Best Actor, 1936, The Story of Louis Pasteur) ends up trapped inside the basement of a bombed-out buiIding along with feIIow Russian Lisa EIenko (Margeurite Chapman, Destroyer) and eight German soIdiers, one of them an officer pretending to be an enlisted man. As they await rescue, KuIkov and a Nazi professor (Ludwig Donath, The Jolson Story) probe each other in the hope of Iearning something that could help their respective sides win the war. Who will best the other? Zoltan Korda (The Jungle Book) directed this riveting suspensor, stunningIy photographed by two-time Academy Award® winner James Wong Howe (Best Cinematography, 1955, The Rose Tattoo and 1963, Hud) and featuring Larry Parks, George MacReady and PhiIip Van Zandt. But its pro-Russian stance pIayed a huge part in the blackIisting of screenwriter John Howard Lawson (Sahara), who is today most famous for being one of the "HoIlywood Ten." |
